Our beautiful Philadelphia bride Elise was so fun, sweet and easy to work with. We were captivated with her wavy red hair, flawless skin, gorgeous eyes and smile. Of course she was a literal dream bride and we were all obsessed with her look.

The Wedding

Elise was married in December 2021 at the Moshulu and she recently reached out to us to let us know how happy she was working with Bella Angel. She also wanted to let us know she is in “the bridal business.” We certainly couldn’t be anymore excited.

Getting Ready at The Lokal Hotel in Philly

We provided hair and makeup for Elise and her bridal party at the Lokal Hotel in Fishtown. Her bridal party showed our artists photos of hair and makeup styles they like. The inspiration photos were perfect and our artists got right to work. The day was super chill, upbeat and fun.

Elise Hudson

Elise is a character. I mean seriously, she is a character actress. She has a pretty impressive IMDB. Actress Elise Hudson has been in Law & Order, she has worked with Spike Lee as a series regular on his Netfix series, “She’s Gotta Have it.” And she was also in Blackkklansman. Blackkklansman was a fantastic film that was nominated 108 times and won 28 awards, directed by Spike Lee.

Kimberly James Bridal

Indeed we were excited to learn that Elise is now working at Kimberly James Bridal Salon. Kimberly James Bridal is located in Chestnut Hill, PA. They have the most exquisite gowns including Mori Lee, Madi Lane, Eddy K Italia, Tania Olsen, and their private label Mila Isabella. We posted a reel after the wedding on our Instagram page and we also felt a blog post needed. After all, we want everyone to see our beautiful Philadelphia bride Elise. If you’re looking for a gown, stop by Kimberly James Bridal. Don’t forget to get a photo and an autograph from Elise when you purchase a gown.

We certainly couldn’t write this blog without including these great photos of Elise’s handsome groom and his groomsmen. It looks like they had a fun morning too. We really enjoyed working with everyone. Elise is one in a million and we will never forget this day.

Elise wore a beautiful Sottero and Midgely gown. Her hair and makeup was on point and complimented her gown and overall look. Elise’s hair adornment was the perfect accent for her Hollywood waves. Porch & Pearls coordinated the wedding deals. B’s Events and Floral Design provided all of the floral. Of course, everything was perfect for Elise’s wedding day.

We love the photos outside of the Moshulu. Following the photos, the bride and groom danced all night long.
